Earlier in the week I covered this 1970 Dodge Coronet 500 convertible and I have taken note of all of the back and forth comments. One thing that I stated at the outset is that most of the ’70… more»
1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 Project
Rough! That’s about all one has to say about this 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. I have a soft spot for these cars but this poor example has gone completely soft on us. It’s a shame but it may… more»
Cheap Project? $1,650 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado
Usually when I think of a “project” car, an Oldsmobile Toronado doesn’t float to the top of the list – the two just seem incongruous. Regardless, today Tony P. has found a 1969 Toronado that doesn’t show that badly…. more»
Cruising Coupe: 1971 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight
One of the things that I have always found interesting about the upsizing of GM’s B and C-body cars for 1971 is the timing. They got bigger and heavier just as engines started to become less powerful, thanks to… more»
No Reserve Short Bed: 1969 Chevrolet C-10
Old, unmolested, and unmodified pickups, such as this 1969 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside short bed, keep turning up – man, they are popular! Unlike a lot of muscle cars from that era, these trucks often show in their original form… more»
One of 924! 1970 Dodge Coronet Convertible
Usually, when we feature a 1970 Dodge Coronet, it’s a Super Bee or an R/T. The non-performance models such as the 500 or the 440, much less the pedestrian Deluxe version, generally don’t make copy often. Well, we’re going… more»
Compelling Survivor: 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible
The seller of this 1966 Pontiac GTO opines, “Hard to find them like this anymore” And I’d have to say “True that!” It’s a bit rough and worn but it does appear to be unchanged and modified – how… more»
Father And Son Project: 1974 Dodge W200
Old Chevrolet C-10s and Ford F-100/150s seem to suck all of the air out of the old pickup truck collectibility room but there is an alternative and important player in this arena and that would be Dodge’s market participants… more»
Complete 440 R/T! 1971 Dodge Charger
Normally, I pass on reviewing muscle cars. Over the years there has been so much written about them that there’s really not much else that I can add. And, I’m old enough to have owned a few when they… more»
No Nomad: 1955 Chevrolet 150 Wagon
When it comes to Chevrolet two-door station wagons, the stylish 1955 Nomad is the 800 lb. gorilla in the enthusiast’s realm. Stylish and collectible, the 68-year-old icon still grabs major attention. But the Nomad wasn’t the only two-door game… more»
Genuine Big-Block Car? 1969 Chevrolet Corvette
One of the more disingenuous sales pitches you’ll find these days is where a seller tells you that a specific car is a genuine special model because it had some important or highly sought-after facet – though that facet… more»
Survivor Sport: 1999 Jeep Cherokee
No, I don’t want another Jeep XJ, such as this 1999 “Sport” edition but I will say that my ’91 base model was one of my all-time favorite cars. Heck, it had to be, I owned it for twenty-six… more»
No Reserve Fintail: 1967 Mercedes Benz 200D
Clean and clunky is one way that I’d describe this 1967 Mercedes 200D “Fintail” sedan. By 1967 the styling was dated but certainly distinctive and the condition of this 56-year-old sedan is outstanding. Any immediate detractions? Well, it is… more»
V8s Need Not Apply: 1969 Dodge Dart
Next to a ’68-’70 Plymouth Road Runner, I’d have to say that the ’67-’69 Dodge Dart is my favorite subject from the old ChryCo. Best of all, Mopar’s small block 340 CI V8 engine was the perfect motivational force… more»
Rare Automatic Gearbox? 1972 Datsun 240Z
I remember watching an old episode of Wheeler Dealers where the boys bought a ’72 Datsun 240Z and decided that the fun quotient was lacking due to its automatic transmission. No worries, master wrench Edd China knew exactly how… more»
Last Of The Big Ones: 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ
Mr. Numskal has discovered for us today, a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix. I’ve always found these fourth-gen (’73-’77) GPs to be the porcine Pontiacs. They absolutely possess the Grand Prix’s character, there’s no missing that, but they appear to… more»
